Trump's Impeachment Opponent Now Pushes for His Removal from 2024 Ballot

A recent interview with constitutional law professor Michael Gerhardt sheds light on his belief that former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from holding office under the 14th Amendment. Gerhardt explains that while he did not include this argument in his op-ed, he has been discussing it with Professor Laurence Tribe for three years. He also discusses his consultations with congressional Republicans during the second impeachment trial and expresses indifference towards his argument being used as justification for their no votes. Gerhardt remains agnostic on whether a political solution would have been preferable to the current judicial one, but emphasizes that the courts will interpret the Constitution without regard to politics. He expresses confidence that the Supreme Court will uphold the Colorado ruling, but acknowledges that the final decision rests with the Court.
